Team of the Week Match Report
Last weekend, the Year 5 A basketball team faced Barker College for round 6 of IPSHA Basketball. Despite the tough opposition, Pymble 5 fought incredibly hard and showed outstanding resilience.
Mikayla Kiang (Year 5) was composed under pressure, keeping the team organised with her steady dribbling down the court. Crystal Li (Year 5) had some strong rebounding and excellent scoring. Isabelle Lawry (Year 5) brought energy and excitement to the game by knocking down an inspiring long-range shot outside the key.
On the defensive end, Rose Bayliss (Year 5) and Jing Huang (Year 5) were especially impressive slowing down the Barker team’s offense. Kate Li (Year 5), Grace Edwards (Year 5), and Lila Ricketts (Year 5) all played crucial roles sprinting back each time to defend our basket.
In the end, Pymble 5 fell short by 14 points, but the margin did not reflect our fighting spirit. Well done, girls, for your effort, teamwork, and fantastic attitude against a very strong Barker side.
